HOOVER, AL: Departure Notes

Our stay at the Hoover RV Park was like so many before it - good full hook-ups, strong free Wi-Fi (although it did drop out from time to time), and a quiet environment.  The campground is blacktop and has islands with trees every so often.  If you pay for 5 nights, you get two free.  No reservations needed although I always call and make sure there isn't a special event going on. There are about 120 sites, all pull-through.  The ground is very slightly sloped and is on a hilltop so no worry of flooding.  Payment can be made by check or cash into the payment box on site, or you can pay with a credit card ($4 charge) by calling the Hoover Park office. There is no bathhouse or attendant, but the police and park employees visit often.  Most of the campground is very well lit at night - the perimeter tends to be darker.  The park no longer has cable TV available, but there are many stations available with an over-the-air antenna, and satellite systems should work well.  The are can be very windy, and very hot in the summer.  There aren't too many good camping options in the Birmingham area.  Hoover Metropolitan Stadium is just a short walk away.
